It’s something more akin to a genocide against all of human history as long as they didn’t accept a certain deity. Not just a spiritual one, a physical one that’s even worse than death

Canonically, no. Righteous people were freed after Jesus’ decent to hell, while the wicked stayed for eternal torment. There’s also some sects believe in limbo, where they’d be waiting for Christ. Sometimes called Abraham’s bosom, which is funny to me

I gotta say the nihilistic worldview of Christianity is way more extreme than any other religion I’ve seen. At least in all the others, non-believers have a place in the next world. Christians do not believe that

Abraham’s bosom is the same place as the Jewish Sheol

Jewish sheol, loser. Boring. Doesn’t roll off the tongue. Abrahams bosom? Funny. Brings joy. Brings big naturals Abraham to mind. Enjoyable

This^ the same place unbaptized/unborn babies are sent bc they weren’t freed from original sin, at no fault of their own. (At least in my denomination)

Sounds like a non-denominational or Baptist. I’m a catholic and we have the concept of the visible + invisible church (visible, those who are members, invisible those who aren’t members but are based on their soul. Ie those who didn’t accept Jesus but would if they had the chance). And the concept of ordinary grace (those members of the church who regularly receive the sacraments receiving God’s grace as promised) and extraordinary grace (God does what he wants bc he’s God)

So if a member of the invisible church receives ordinary grace, they can be in Heaven. Or a non-Christian receiving extraordinary grace and allowed into Heaven bc God can read their soul. Stuff like that. It all comes down to the ultimate decision is God as the perfect judge and merciful Creator. And comes down to trust in Him for His souls.

Lutherans are kinda similar. We focus more on Jesus calls all children to him (Matthew 19:14) and God WANTS to show mercy to every one he can, so baptized or not children (and thus babies) are saved through grace (and thru parents/community praying for them). We also in general consider baptism the ordinary form of salvation but not the ONLY form. Plus children are unable to consciously reject Christ, and thus cannot be damned for it. Thank you Martin Luther very cool

Ahh ok. So since marriage/ monogamy as a concept / tradition didn't start until 4,500 years ago, everyone before then had premarital sex and is in hell. Thx for clarifying.

Yeah but also biblical marriage allows for non monogamy and once you fuck you’re basically married so, also nope. Try again 🫵 that gets covered under the saved by Jesus bit (unless they were otherwise bad people)
